Recessive gene question

cruddymutt Apr 23, 2007 07:07 PM

My question is, which gene is more recessive, "Blizzard" or patternless. I have a male albino patternless and a female "Blizzard" and am currious as to what is going to come out. How would the gene write out for the Punnets(?) square?

You would produce normal looking geckos triple het for Blizzard, Patternless,and Albino.

How would I get normal looking geckos if patternless and blizzard are both a recessive gene? Neither one of the parents carries the gene for normal otherwise they would be normal right? Thanks for replying by the way.

You would produce Double hets like I said, these two recessive traits cannot mix.
